Welcome

At Londonderry Primary School we believe in educating every child, encouraging their unique potential and caring for their wellbeing - preparing them for a bright and successful future.  We have a proud and rich tradition of academic excellence, strong pastoral support and an extensive range of extracurricular provision and after school clubs.

P6 enjoyed a great Viking Day today. The children came to school dressed as Vikings and they looked wonderful! They then had the chance to do lots of activities like grinding corn using a quern stone, making sparks using flint, identify various Viking artefacts, weave a bracelet, make a wall from willow branches, writing in runes, play a Viking board game, make spears and learn sword skills.
🎉 Monday 2nd February: 100 Days Smarter! 🎉 We are getting ready to celebrate 100 days at school on Monday 2nd February! Our teachers have some fun and creative activities planned to mark this special milestone with our pupils. It is going to be a day full of learning and celebrations!
